OBJECTIVE: This study was performed to evaluate the MR imaging appearance and clinical response of patients undergoing uterine artery embolization for the treatment of menorrhagia due to adenomyosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective …

OBJECTIVE: Various types of malignancy can develop in patients with endometriosis. Enhancing mural nodules have been reported as an imaging characteristic of malignant transformations. We evaluated contrast-enhanced MR imaging to determine …

OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to study the appearance of the uterus on MR images obtained during and 3 months after laser ablation of the endometrium and to determine if a correlation exists between the MR imaging findings and the subsequent…

OBJECTIVE: The purposes of this study were to compare transvaginal sonography (TVS), intraoperative sonography (IOS), and gross visual inspection of the uterus with the histopathologic findings in patients with endometrioid adenocarcinoma, …

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare fat-suppressed T1-weighted with conventional MR images for the diagnosis of endometriosis, focusing on the detectability of peritoneal implants, and to evaluate the usefulness of MR imagin…

OBJECTIVE: Solid fibrotic nodules of endometriosis can simulate peritoneal metastases on imaging studies. To assist with this distinction, we analyzed the MR appearance of solid masses of pelvic endometriosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A sear…

OBJECTIVE: Current research suggests that the resistive index of adnexal masses is a sensitive measure for distinguishing between benign and malignant ovarian masses. We devised a study to determine how morphologic findings on sonograms com…

This article examines the current roles of hysterosalpingography and other imaging studies used in diagnostic assessment and treatment of infertility in women. The advantages and limitations of hysterosalpingography, transabdominal or trans…

Forty-six patients with surgically proved disease (115 leiomyomas, 19 cases of adenomyosis, and 14 endometrial polyps) were studied to determine if gadopentetate dimeglumine-enhanced T1-weighted MR images improve the detection and character…

The distinction between blood and lipid in ovarian masses on MR imaging is important in the differential diagnosis of these lesions. However, this is often difficult on routine MR images because both blood and lipid within tumors can have t…

Endorectal sonography initially was developed for evaluation of the prostate and now has been adapted for evaluation of rectal and perirectal disease. We used endorectal sonography to evaluate a spectrum of diseases, including primary and r…
